Eurocopter types

The BO 105 would manage about 80 kts single engine and then it was a 30 kt run on landing back at base. Throw out the crew and she would be able to hover taxi back to the hangar.
The EC 135 T2 has bags of power. MAUM at SL to +30 OEI. It still needs a smooth approach, but the FADEC won't allow you to overtorque or overtemp at the bottom, you just get Nr droop. So hover is no bover!
